Church Services

The church building is open for Sunday Services.

Current Arrangements

We want to keep our Sunday morning arrangements as safe as possible, given local Covid-19 rates. Fortunately we have the space to keep our existing procedures in place.

Please note:

• Please continue to wear a face mask during church Services (unless you have a medical or psychological reason not to do so).
• We are now going singing (quietly, with masks) one hymn each service, plus the sung liturgy at Holy Communion.
• You are welcome to sit next to others, where you have arranged this in advance.
• We will continue to offer the bread, only, at Holy Communion.
• Signing in is NOT compulsory.
• Feel free to chat outdoors, after the service!
• Full details can be found in our revised Risk Assessment
